There is a lot of discussion around the use of essential oils and aromatherapy for health. At aRicherMe, we recognize aromatherapy as the practice of using essential oils to promote health and well-being. Essential oils are extracts from plants that contain a concentrated mixture of chemicals. These chemicals can be inhaled or applied to the skin. Aromatherapy is known for treating conditions such as anxiety, stress, nausea, and insomnia. Is that the only use for these essential oils? What are the components and can they be harnessed to create new treatments?

Essential Oils: Do They Really Work?
There is a lot of discussion around the use of essential oils and aromatherapy for health. Aromatherapy is the practice of using essential oils to promote health and well-being. Essential oils are extracts from plants that contain a concentrated mixture of chemicals. These chemicals can be inhaled or applied to the skin.
Aromatherapy is when you smell these oils. They help you feel better in some cases. For example, cancer patients often use aromatherapy to feel better; pregnant women sometimes use aromatherapy to relieve nausea, and aromatherapy is sometimes used to relieve anxiety or stress. Lavender oil has been shown to be helpful in treating insomnia. So we know that certain essential oils can help with various things. But where can we find a comprehensive review of the evidence of the success of aromatherapy?
There are quite a few anecdotal claims of success online about the healing qualities of some essential oils. As a scientist, I felt compelled to understand what evidence-based research was out there to support these claims. I wanted to know, what does the science say? Does the evidence support the claims that these treatments are effective? Aromatherapy has been used for centuries to treat various conditions, but there was still very little scientific research to support their claims.
I’m not saying that there was no science on the topic. It was my observation that there might not be an enthusiastic effort in the scientific community to examine aromatherapy. Nonetheless, I did find some interesting evidence. Most of my findings included the caveat that more research was needed to make sure the results were correct.
In this blog post, we will take a look at some of the existing studies on aromatherapy and essential oils. We will also explore some of the anecdotal evidence around these treatments and see if there is any truth to the claims made by essential oil enthusiasts! Here are some of the topics we will cover.
